^^^ you got lucky! I got one of my diesels painted there and looked like shit. And needless to say the clear is pealing really bad after 2 years

Maaco seems to be VERY hit or miss most of the time. The biggest issue people I know have with them is their lack of prep work. I see cars all the time with overspray everywhere and you can tell the car was not prepped correctly.

Save your money and get a reputable shop or person to do it. Youll thank yourself later.

its cool man...im sure the "so called cheaper jobs will be done in some ones garage...with no booth...cheapest materials they can find....AND THE BEST PART IS they wont stand behind their work..so when it starts peeling in a year or so beacuse of shitty prep work and shitty materials ...guess what???your shit up the creek...
